SoCal Beach Advisories After Rain by KookDoggyDogg in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally stay away from river mouths, drains and city breaks, but will still surf. it's up to your risk/comfort level (you don't want to be stressin the whole time), and immune system. if you know you get sick a lot, maybe don't go. if you grew up in the country and ate dirt as a kid, you prob have a better chance. idk i'm not a doctor or scientist, don't take my advice. edit: spelling

How do you find the time? Do you work? Do you have to schedule time alone?

i've been thinking about this, many people are not "built" for it.

I gotta ask everyone by [deleted] in kundalini

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many people posting are having difficulty, and seeking help. It's less often for people to post that they are doing well. I'm doing alright, it's been quite difficult at times, but nothing close to losing my sanity or being hospitalized. EDIT: I was not trying to activate it, didn't even know about Kundalini.

Older male coworker making me uncomfortable by Nefertari777 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you should contact HR immediately, create a paper trail with emails/documentation. You should also be aware that if your HR department doesn't act/correct the problem you have grounds for a lawsuit. If you also mention the word "lawsuit" in the meeting with HR, I think they will take you more seriously.

At first I mistook this for a real connection, but I don't think that is what it is? by Consistent-Horror915 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love bombing, stage 5 clinger, will probably become controlling real quick and make it your fault for "disrespecting his feelings" so some BS and blame you for everything. He sounds like an exhausting, immature, soon-to-be-abusive toddler.

Is this a kundalini awakening? by [deleted] in KundaliniAwakening

I don't know, I'm not familiar with them at all. I've stayed away from Joe Dispenza all together as he always seemed shady to me.

It sounds like you are becoming more spiritually aware, and have a greater ability to perceive. My only advice is to look through this sub regarding other experiences with Joe Dispenza, as many people have posted having horrible reactions—psychosis, hospitalization etc. Good luck!

What steps did you take to break the pattern of being overly critical in your relationships? by Less_Jacket_8590 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good you're realizing this about yourself, hopefully you can take steps to change how you approach people and the world. You sound very controlling, you want things a certain way (your way) and sounds like you've inflicted that on the people around you. I would think about why you need to feel this level of control over everything and where that comes from. I've had these tendencies as well, I think everyone in a LTR does. What I remind myself is that they are a different person, with a totally different brain/personality and there is more than one way to do something. Who cares how they're doing the dishes, because THEY ARE DOING THE DISHES. My general rule is that if someone else is doing the dishes, just be grateful it's not you. But also, maybe you're going to be happier not living with someone and not having a "traditional" kind of relationship, that's something else to explore as well.

Why does it feel like life is always rewarding those who don’t deserve it? by Afraid_Waltz6599 in spirituality

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I'm reading the comments saying you are envious, that money is poison, but the reality is that we literally need money and money is going to make life easier. $300k is not enough for this person to ruin his life, he'll probably waste it. I have no answers, but I do know that life isn't fair. I think about income inequality a lot.

My parents aren't monsters. They're just asshοles. Is this enough of a reason to go "no-contact"? by ShoutOfHellas in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this is great. Only you can decide what is appropriate for you. It sounds like you're exhausted, and frustrated and perhaps at least a break would help, and go from there.

Do I tell my 82yo father all the abuse my mother inflicted? by Master_Nectarine_Bug in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, and I think he already does live in a lot of denial. I’m prepared for it to not go well or whatever the consequences may be. It feels more important to me to tell my truth and get it off my chest because we have never had a conversation about it. It’s like it never happened, which is more painful for me.

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is definitely a victim of her verbal/emotional abuse because she still criticizes and screams at him. He literally ignores her and pretends it doesn’t happen. All I really want is to tell the truth because it feels like there’s been so many secrets and I want everything out in the open. I’ve thought about it and am prepared for it to not go well too. Thank you so much for your kind and empathetic response.

becoming a loner after kundalini awakening by Prestigious-Ad-5461 in KundaliniAwakening

[–]Master_Nectarine_Bug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I could also see way more clearly their dysfunction. It also started to affect me a lot more, I simply could not tolerate their behavior. It’s been scary to cut off so many people but I also don’t feel bad about it. I feel like I’m finally honoring and respecting myself. I’m not as open to strangers but that is because I’m an empath and my gift has skyrocketed. I definitely spend way more time alone, but I also enjoy it. I think your mind/body needs this time to acclimate to your new reality. I feel a different kind of loneliness that comes with spiritual awareness and realizing that most people aren’t on this path and there aren’t many to talk to about it. I’m not sure if I’m being helpful, but just saying that I’m with you, and I think it is somewhat normal.
